23 months
Height- Will find out next month
Weight- 33 lb (98%)
Diapers- Size 6 nighttime diapers. Size 6 daytime diapers! Daycare has been asking Wes for a couple of months now if he wants to sit on the potty and he is not interested in the least bit.

Milestones- Wes "counting" things. 1, 2, 3, 5, 10. He really likes to say 2 and 5 especially. He is getting better about walking down stairs without holding on, although I did watch him fall down two steps outside just today trying to do this (he popped right back up!). He is getting faster on his tricycle and loves riding around on it outside after dinner and before bed. CP and I were pretty excited to give away our high chair and Wes has officially moved into a booster seat at home. While at restaurants we sometimes still put him in a high chair, sometimes a booster, or other times just let him sit on his knees (especially if he is sitting in a booth). He does a pretty good job staying in his seat.
He loves to help by bringing stuff to put in the garbage, putting his milk cup in the sink, or setting down the cat bowls with food.

Language- Wesley has officially switched over to saying "Daddy" and "Mommy" instead of "Dada" and "Mama." He is also talking in long sentences, mostly talking about what is happening at the time- "Wesley sit down with fire truck." He uses colors a lot when he is describing things- it's not just a flower but a yellow flower. Often things like airplanes, cars, trains, dogs barking are "loud."
One of the cutest things he has been doing recently is giving us a surprised look, putting his hand over his mouth and saying "Oh no!" He also will point to something and ask "dis?" wanting to know the word for the object.

They must be working on the ABC song a lot at school because when we sing the song, Wes gets most of the letters. He can sing a bunch of songs including his favorite, The Wheels on the Bus. He can also sing part of the Paw Patrol theme song which is sort of shameful because clearly he is getting more tv than Izzy was at this age.....at least it is only on the weekends.
Favorite Toy- The Brio trains at my parent's house in Michigan. Oh man was he OBSESSED with playing with them! At home we have them too just down in our basement and we aren't down there very often because of the nice weather.

Favorite Book- Knuffle Bunny. I don't remember Izzy loving this book so much but Wes wants to read it every night! When Trixie (the kid in the book) starts crying over losing her bunny, Wes gets upset and will say "crying" (he also gets worried when Izzy cries, telling me "sissy crying.")

| He did this to himself (Izzy did literally the same thing at this friend's house as well) |
Sleep- Bedtime is more like 7:45/8pm these days and he doesn't go right to sleep like he had been doing, but he has slept through all of the thunderstorms recently so he still is a great sleeper in my book. On the weekdays we wake him up around 6:30am and he generally is not very excited about waking up....usually throwing his blanket over his head to block out the overhead light. He still sleeps about two hours for his naps.
Wes' other silly thing recently is having us put socks on his hands so that he can giggle and say "sock hands!" while holding them up. He keeps them on all night and is filled with joy when he shows us his sock hands in the morning.

Clothes- Still in 2T clothes. I washed 3T clothes but they are still slightly too big on him. Size 8 shoes.
Eating- I'm still impressed that he is eating all of the veggies that he does so hopefully that will continue. His favorite is definitely corn, but cherry tomatoes are a close second. If CP takes him shopping and Wes is hungry he will easily eat half of a package of cherry tomatoes during the trip.

| Eating pho (!) and loving it |
Teeth- No two year old molars quite yet, but he has continued to drool and stick his hand in his mouth like a champ.
Illness- Wes had a tough month. He hurt his finger at school which then became infected. He then got a bunch of mosquito bites at a BBQ and woke up with a swollen eye which took a few days to get down to normal. Fingers crossed this month is a better month for him!

Misc- Nothing this month
